5:07 am
better. fit doesn't happen by monday we could be looking at another week if this goes forward. fit does happen and when this does happen it will be a historic day. the shuttle launch will be the last in a 30-year history of the space shuttle program. that is why everyone wants to be a part of this. there are a couple places in the bay area where you can watch this happen. if you want to be part of a big group. let's talk about the chabot space and science center. this opens at 8:26 this morning. they will have experts on hand for people who have any questions and make it a learning experience. if you had thought ahead and you were thinking about this week in advance you might have seats at the nasa aim center. those spots were already taken. people reserved those a few weeks in advance. those are the two spots in the bay area if you want to take a look at the historic launch that is where you can do it. that is all dependent on if it

5:36 am
ahead with this. the folks at chabot when i asked them if this happens and if it doesn't happen will you still gather here? they say this is a historic day being the last shuttle launch. they will be here regardless to talk about this. they have plans through the weekend if this gets delayed tomorrow or the next day they will be ready to watch it here. so it's $10 to get through the door here. they have the mega dome ready this morning. also that costs you $10 to get in here. it's still open. there rim r still seats -- there are still seats available. the tickets reserved a couple weeks in advance. so those are the two main events going on in the bay area with folks that want to see this launch. again if it happens. live in oakland claudine wong.
